Download the PicPak app, select your favorite photos, and sync them to your device over Bluetooth and WiFi. Once uploaded, PicPak automatically shuffles through your photos at your chosen refresh interval, with no manual updates or NFC tapping required. Your images are stored directly on the PicPak device, so the e-ink screen holds and cycles through them indefinitely without drawing power. That's how the battery lasts up to a year.

Yes. Color E-ink screens take around 16 seconds to refresh when displaying a new image. This is normal for all color E-ink displays. Since PicPak shows one static photo at a time, you'll only see this once each time you update your photo. It won't affect your everyday experience. If you're sensitive to flickering lights, look away during the refresh. It's over in 16 seconds.

E-ink displays are designed to look like printed photographs, not phone screens. Colors are softer, tones are more muted, and there's no backlight or glare. Display quality can vary depending on the photo. High-contrast images with clear subjects tend to look best. Every image on our website is a real photo of the screen, not a render. What you see there is what you get.

Every other way to keep your photos has a trade-off. Printed photos cost $0.30 each and can't be updated. Digital frames need constant power and don't look like real photos. Instax and Polaroid are fun but expensive per shot and fixed forever. Your phone library is free but buried under thousands of screenshots and always one dead battery away from being inaccessible.

PicPak is the only option that checks every box. It looks like a real photo, fits in your pocket, never needs charging, requires no consumables, and lets you update your collection anytime. At $0.087 per photo across a 500-photo capacity, it costs less than a third of printing and a fraction of Instax.

The memories you actually want to see every day deserve better than a camera roll. PicPak puts them in your hands, always ready, no compromises.

You're in full control. In the PicPak app, you can set your refresh interval to every hour, every day, or every week, or turn it off entirely and flip through photos manually. PicPak only refreshes when you want it to.

PicPak stores everything directly on the device, with no cloud uploads, no remote servers, and no third-party access. When you sync over Bluetooth, the transfer stays between your phone and your PicPak. Once it's on the device, it stays there, private and offline, until you choose to change it.

PicPak is a one-time purchase with no mandatory subscriptions or hidden fees. We may introduce optional theme packs and curated content subscriptions in the future, but these will always be opt-in. If you never want to pay another cent, you never have to.
